- Description:
- Martinsville Primitive Baptist Church was founded on October 28, 1899, and located in Martinsville, Virginia. Several names are used throughout the records books including Primitive Baptist Church at Martinsville, Martinsville Primitive Baptist Church, the Church Street Primitive Baptist Church Martinsville, Virginia, and Chatham Heights Primitive Baptist Church. Reference is made to the church meeting at a new location in Chatham Heights in 1963 which may explain some name variation. The church typically met monthly during which time minutes were recorded in the church record books. The first entry in this record book is February 1919 and the final entry is January 1973. The church records at the beginning start as early as 1899. A gap in entries exists from February 1945 until November 1959. Record books 2 through 4 (PBHLA-MPBC.002-.004) seem to fill this gap.

- Description:
- The Ketockton Primitive Baptist Association was formed in August of 1766, accepting its articles of faith and holding its first session at what was then Ketocton Church in Loudoun County, Virginia. At that time the association was comprised of four churches including Ketocton Church, Mill Creek in Berkley County, Virginia, Smith’s Creek in Shenandoah County, Virginia, and Broad Run in Fauquier County, Virginia, all of which had previously been a part of the Philadelphia Association. The association grew to include churches from the Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C. regions and frequently corresponded with churches in North Carolina and Georgia. Through the years, and with new church formations and growth, churches moved in and out of the association. Early on, the Ketockton Primitive Baptist Association was known as the Ketockton Baptist Association and later addressed themselves as the Ketocton Association of Primitive Baptists, the Ketocton Old School Baptists, or Ketocton Primitive or Old School Baptists. The Ketockton Primitive Baptist Association at one point noted itself to be the second oldest Primitive Baptist association.
